2 weeks ago 14

At the end of the summer, Bridgeport, Illinois is playing host to another edition of Summer’s Last Dance, a boutique festival with proceeds going to a good cause.

Come September 19, thousands of revelers will arrive in Bridgeport, Illinois for the end-of-season sendoff that is Summer’s Last Dance. And now that we’re fully in the midst of festival season, the gathering’s organizers have shared phase one of its 2026 lineup.

One name stands tall above the rest on the graphic: Big Gigantic. The live electronic duo consisting of Dominic Lalli and Jeremy Salken have remained active for nearly two decades, delivering albums like Fire It Up, Brighter Future, Free Your Mind along the way.

The Summer’s Last Dance 2026 lineup also includes live electronic act Saxsquatch, bass house mainstay Henry Fong, and rising duo The Sponges. Accompanying them are artists like Rich Dietz, Bobby Afterlife, Ston Don, Lisa Pizza, and SNBNY.

Importantly, the 17 names appearing on this announcement only constitute phase one of the lineup. This indicates that additional acts will be revealed in the months leading up to the festival.

“Summer’s Last Dance is about connection as much as it is music,” said Summer’s Last Dance Founder Bobby De Maria. “From the beginning, we wanted to create an experience that brings people together across different scenes and backgrounds while also supporting something bigger than ourselves.”

De Maria continued: “I grew up watching my dad use sports and entertainment as a way to bring people together and support people who needed it most. That mindset became a huge part of what we built with Afterlife. The music matters, but so does what you do with the platform.”

Tickets are currently on sale starting at $72 for general admission. Purchase yours and find additional information on the Summer’s Last Dance website.
